Fans cash in on K Club ticket offer

A massive 45,000 golf fans have taken up on Ulster Bank’s “Free Ticket Thursday” initiative at this week’s Smurfit Kappa European Open at the K Club west of Dublin.

The company’s head of sponsorship Sarah Dempsey, said: “This is a hugely important year for Irish golf with our best players pushing for places on the European Ryder Cup team for September’s contest with the USA and we are delighted to be giving true golf fans the opportunity to see some of the biggest names in golf tee off.”
